In this episode, Dale McIntyre, a designated professional with the Materials Technology Institute, joins co-hosts Heather Allain and Marc Cook to dive into the topic of anodic stress corrosion cracking (SCC), with a specific focus on chloride stress corrosion cracking (CSCC). They explore key SCC degradation mechanisms and discuss crucial factors in assessing CSCC risks. The conversation covers a range of topics, including reducing surface stress to minimize risk, temperature thresholds for CSCC, crack initiation timelines, non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods, the use of duplex stainless steel, insulation, painting, CSCC repair, and the role of castings in managing corrosion.
